Mike, I use a Draytek Vigor 120 (I'm in the UK, but it most certainly will work for you aswell). This is a self-contained ADSL modem that presents a PPPoE interface to your PC or server via a conventional RJ45 connector. It is painless and past firmware hiccups accepted, performs very well indeed. http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor120.html I use it in preference to anything because it does not get you embroiled in PCI device driver support and it doesn't NAT or otherwise screw with the conenction - you get 'the internet' and nothing more. The only downside is it is not cheap. I think I paid around 50 GBP. Best regards, Matt.
